Sunday 19th was
the day to spoil
the Dads in Plett
and beyond...
And from reports
we heard that you
girls and kids did
well this year.
Our restaurants
gave great meals
at good prices to assist and many
shops had super specials to
tempt dads to add to their lists of
“must haves”.
The holidays are almost here...
A nice little break to catch up on
family togetherness and
snuggle-up-on-chilly-earlymorning time. With it being one of
the longer holidays of the year,
there are lots of happy grandparents expecting the joy of their
hearts to visit, making plans for
special times to share .
Whatever your actions ...
have a fabulous fun filled week in
our beautiful Bay.

On Friday 10/06/2011 a Pygmy
Sperm Whale (Kogia breviceps)
washed up by the ‘Waves’ on
Keurbooms Stand. The whale was
adult male that was 2.9 metres in
length. The maximum size of these
whales is 3.5 metres and maximum
weight of 400kg and are found in all
temperate oceans. There isn’t
much known about the animals as
they are generally found in deep
waters and are only seen inshore
when they have stranded. They eat
a variety of squid which is evident
from stomach contents examined
from stranded whales. The species
of squid can be determined by the
shape and size of the beak which is
the only part of the squid that does
not dissolve in the whale’s
stomach. BayWorld came to
conduct the autopsy along with
Cape Nature and the ORCA
Foundation. If any stranded
animals are found, dead or alive,
please contact any of the above
companies to assist.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
Action, Adventure The epic
beginning of the X-Men saga
reveals a secret history of famous
global events. Before mutants had
revealed themselves to the world,
and before Charles Xavier and Erik
Lehnsherr took the names
Professor X and Magneto, they
were two young men discovering
their powers for the first time. Not
arch enemies, they were, at first,
the closest of friends, working
together with other Mutants, to
prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the
process, a grave rift between them
opened, which began the eternal
war between Magneto's
Brotherhood and Professor X's
X-Men

ruthless con artist who's using him
to find the fabled Fountain of Youth.
When she forces him aboard the

Blackbeard, Jack finds himself on
an unexpected adventure in which
he doesn't know whom to fear more:
Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom

discovers that the bird is the last

somehow manage to escape and
begin the long trek back home, on

They both learn a lot along the way

Bitou
Business
Buzz
APOLOGIES...for
the lack of
information lately.
Due to the uncertainty as far as the
coalition of parties was concerned
little could be reported.
The dust has settled and the DA
with six councillors and COPE with
one councillor have formed the new
Council of Bitou. Needless to say
that the ANC with six members in
council will prove a tough opposition
and will no doubt make sure that the
DA keeps its election promises...I
am sure that they will ! It was a well
organized and peaceful election, the
people of Plett. can be proud of
the good behavior of its voters.
COMING TOGETHER...Urban
Integration Initiative Pilot Project is
on track. It is supported by the
Presidency and Premier and aims
to fundamentally restructure the

previous urban, social
and economic environment, and
seek to produce a participative,
equitable and unifying urban
condition for the Bitou area.
The primary focus of the Bitou
Municipality remains the
improvement of basic living
conditions, a good example is the
successful implementation of the
Bossiesgif - Qolweni - Pinetree Gaatjie Social Housing Project,
which will provide much-needed
rental accommodation in conducive
urban environments. The integration
project creates a strong linkage
between the previously separated
townships areas of Kwanokuthula
and New Horizons and the informal
settlements of Bossisgif & Qolweni.
The adjacent area of Ladywood is
envisaged as new and very large
privately driven housing development area that will complement the
integration process. The N2 corridor
forms a spine through these areas.
Up to date the new library in New
Horizons is making good progress
despite the considerable rains lately
(we are blessed!) and should ready
by the end of the year. Also
complete will be the electrification of
the pedestrian and cycle track
which will run from the Ebenezer
entrance to Qolweni Bossisgif.
The planning of the Regional
Magistrates court will in all
probability start April 2012. It will
replace the Magistrates court of
Knysna. Also early 2012 work on
the Kwanokuthula & Kwano City will
start with the upgrading of Shishuba
street thus motivating the use of the
business and pedestrian friendly
areas. I will keep you up to date on
a regular basis. Greetings,
Ald. Pierre Koep.

Call for the
public to
discontinue
the setting
off of Chinese
Lanterns.
Chinese Lanterns have come under
scrutiny in the United Kingdom (UK)
and Sunday 19th June, the British
broadcaster Sky News reported
appeals by UK authorities urging
the public and tourists to
discontinue setting off Chinese
Lanterns into the sky citing cases
where (amongst other cases)
animals have died as a result of
eating the frames of these lanterns
after they have landed in fields after
burning out.
(Other cases being cited are bush
fires being started by Chinese
Lanterns landing in fields and the
obvious issue of general litter and
sea animals and birds becoming
entangled in the frames!)
Chinese Lanterns are essentially
being regarded as dangerous
pyrotechnics.
Chinese Lanterns are lightweight
frames covered by paper with a
burning candle placed inside and
once the candle is set alight the
paper frames can be held up and let
go and they then float up into the
sky until the candle burns out and
then they tend to drift in the wind
until eventually landing back on
earth.
It is believed that Chinese
Lanterns became popular with
tourists, setting them off mostly at
beaches, following the popular film
The Beach, starring Leonardo Di
Caprio. However it is believed that it
is increasingly becoming popular to
set them off to mark any occasions
such as Weddings, Birthdays and
the likes of New Years Eve!
The National Sea Rescue Institute
are using this opportunity to echo
the appeals by British Authorities to
discourage the public and tourists
from setting Chinese Lanterns off
into the sky.
On many occasions over the
pasts months and years Chinese
Lanterns set off from beaches
around South Africa, and hard to be
identified as a Chinese Lantern
unless you were there at the time of
them being "set off", and then
floating up into the sky over the sea
(or inland), have given members of
the public (and NSRI coast
watchers) the false impression that
they are red distress
flares activated at sea resulting in
the NSRI and the Emergency
Services being called out to search

www.helloplett.co.za
WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT - 23 JUNE 2011

for persons suspected to be in
trouble.
These searches may be costly and
may place rescuers at risk.
This phenomenon appears to be
becoming increasingly common.
The NSRI are appealing to
members of the public who witness
Chinese Lanterns being set off to
report the matter to the SA Police
Services.
It is the understanding of the
NSRI that setting off any
pyrotechnics is illegal unless a
permit and a license is granted by
the authorities responsible.
The NSRI are respectfully
appealing to the public and tourists
to cooperate by not setting Chinese
Lanterns off into the sky
(inland or around the coast).

Yet another
golfing
achievement
for classy
Jack Duthie
2011 keeps on being a happy and
very successful year for Oakhill’s
talented young 15 year old golfer,
Jack Duthie. He has just added
another great win to a string of
excellent performances over the first
six months of this year.
On Sunday June12, Jack won a
playoff in a tense final at Oubaai,
George, to be crowned the winner of
the Ernie Els Glacier Junior event
sponsored by Sanlam. The event,
hosted by Ernie Els, is the first of a
series of 10 Glacier Junior events to
be played at various venues across
the country with the finalists of all
these tournaments playing off at the
Pecanwood golf estate in October, to
decide a national U18winner.
The tournaments are sponsored by
Glacier, Sanlam, but hosted by a
South African golfing legend, either a
current professional or an individual in
the golfing industry, all whom have a
passion for Junior golf in SA.Current
tour professionals Ernie Els, Retief
Goosen, Charl Schwartzel, Louis
Oosthuizen, Hennie Otto, James
Kingston,and legends Gary Player

044 533 1139 / 082 572 1027
and Dale Hayes are all hosting
similar events in the coming months
leading up to the final in Gauteng.
The eventual winner at
Pecanwood will be competing in the
USA in the Junior Orange Bowl
International tournament for u18
golfers from all over the world later
this year. The Junior Orange Bowl
has become one of the worlds’ most
prestigious junior golf events. Past
winners include Tiger Woods
(1991).
This victory confirms the
undoubted talent that this young
man has and follows on some
equally impressive performances
earlier this year when Jack won two
Southern Cape Order Of Merit’s, the
Knysna Open Club Championships,
The Oakhill Open, and a 8th place in
the SA U19 Stroke-play
Championships in March.
Unfortunately Ernie Els could not
be at the event personally as he
was busy preparing to play in the
US Open Championship last week,
never the less, his father Mr
NeelsEls stood in on behalf of Ernie.
Oakhill School is extremely proud
of Jack’s achievements and wish
him well in all the upcoming events
he has planned to play in. We look
forward to more silver ware in the
trophy cabinet!

Thank you
to Riana Beyers
When I asked Riana
to save scraps of
material and off-cuts
from her interior
decorating workshop
so that I could fill old
cushion covers for the dogs in the
townships, I had no idea that within
a few days she would deliver a
bakkie full of
cushions made up by her staff.
They’d used curtain lining and old
material to make a wondrous pile of
comfort for the poor dogs in
Kwanokathula and New
Horizons. I’ve handed these over to
our intrepid Heidi who knows the
needs of the animals there and will
distribute them accordingly.
While we’re tucked up in our
warm beds, these chilly nights, we
can rest more easily knowing that at
least some of the dogs will be a little
more comfortable.
Thank you a thousand times Riana
and your staff and also to Heidi for
the wonderful work that you do.
Bless you all.

Oyster
culinary event
even better value than before
The Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival’s
premier culinary event, the Pick n Pay
Oyster & Wine Mardi Gras, celebrates the
21st anniversary of its cooking competition
on 6 July with a package that will offer the
same amount of oyster delights as previous
events but at a reduced price.
Sponsored by Tabasco and presented by
the Garden Route region of the South
African Chefs Association, the popular
event previously known as the Oyster
Cooking Competition, will see 18 top chefs
prepare around 18 000 oysters in unique
flavour combinations as they compete for
the coveted Oyster Cooking Champion
award.
In addition, the creatively decorated oyster
stalls will be interspersed with 16 South
African winemakers displaying their best
vintages for tasting.
Organiser Gino Adriaensen said the
event’s coming of age was being celebrated
with a reduced entrance fee of R200.
“Guests can eat an oyster at each
restaurant stall and sample from all the wine
tables. In addition to the cooked oysters
there will also be fresh oysters and other
snacks for those not so keen on the
molluscs.”
Held at the Festival Pavilion on the Pick
n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival Grounds at
Loerie Park from 6pm onwards, the cooking
competition provides the mainly local chefs
opportunity to create interesting oyster taste
experiences. Allowing for hot or cold
presentation, chefs can use any method of
preparation and ingredients to win over the
judges and 700 guests with their oyster
creations.
Local charities will receive a major boost
from the event, with the top three chefs
receiving R5 000, R2 500 and R1 500
respectively to donate to their local charity
of choice; as will the best wine tables. An
additional R25 000 will go towards Garden
Route candidates in the South African
Chefs Association’s development programme, with the balance of the proceeds
being divided between several different
local charities. “Last year the Mardi Gras
raised R54 500 for charity, which we hope
to significantly exceed this year,” said
Adriaensen.
Each year the Mardi Gras also hosts
development teams, trained prior to the
event by a local chef but left to their own
devices on the night. “We will have two
development teams and an entrant from a
local township restaurant this year. In the
past our development teams have even won
the competition and we look forward to their
offering this year.”
Tickets are available at: Lo Spuntino,

Seat Belts
Having lived in Plett for
many years, I am still
astounded to see so many drivers
and passengers who do not wear
seat belts. I am not sure whether it
is not cool to buckle up or what!
A friend of mine who would also not
buckle-up, had a slow sudden
accident and although he hurt his
chest as it impacted the steering
wheel, his passenger was not so
lucky after his face smashed into
the windscreen knocking out some
of his front teeth. Years later he still
suffer from neck problems.
I am not sure whether drivers are
plain stupid or what. How can
people drive with their children
standing on the front seat, let alone
standing up looking out of the
sunroof? How will they feel when
their children or grandchildren are
killed or scarred for life? A friend of
mine has a plane and would not
think of not buckling up and there
are more motorists killed in a month
on South African road than flyers.

fabulous stuff ) you may be
delighted, as we certainly were, to

While walking in the
area of the Kwik Spar
near the open park land,
my wife and I noticed a bronze
statue in the middle of the park,
which we had not observed before.
On closer inspection, we found the
statue to be that of an eagle.
At the base is the inscription
"Spirit of Zimbabwe 1979" .
In that year before the Lancaster
agreement of 1980 the country was
still known as Rhodesia, so why the
inscription "Spirit of Zimbabwe
1979" ???.
And does anybody know why or
have any idea who placed
the monument there.
Just interested.

Falling to Pieces
I have had a bad
couple of weeks.
I started to swell
around my neck area
so with my
prophet-of-doom attitude I dashed
off to my doctor who just stared at
the swelling, with that "I have never
seen anything like this before"
look. He proceeded to prod and
push and rub; he listened to my
chest, took my blood pressure,
prodded around in my ears and
then stood back and said "no idea,
will send you for a sonar”.
Now that appointment was on the
day of the Royal Wedding and I was
dressed to the nines
(stilettos, hat, the whole tooty)
to go to the wedding party held at
my friend’s wine farm. The
radiologist ambled in like time was
of no importance and slowly rolled
the sticky stuff all over my puffy
neck. The wedding had started by
now, I could hear the girls in
reception ooo-ing and
ahh-ing. Finally he announced that
it was soft tissue and that I could
expect a lot more of that as it is a
part of growing old. So imagine,
in a few months you will see this
short and fat lady (me), but now
with a huge fat lumpy neck like a
hippo.
Surely I will then draw all the
attention I have ever craved.
Anyway, raced off to the wedding in
time to get a quarter saamie which
was uneaten as the filling had fallen

www.helloplett.co.za
WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT - 23 JUNE 2011

out. Sadly, the champagne was
finished too so had to toast the royal
couple with wine.
Went back to the doctor a few days
later and again he studied my lumpy
bits. No closer to a diagnosis, he
made an appointment for me with a
VIP doc to look at my lungs???
That appointment lies in wait for me
in two weeks time.
Then, as I mentioned last week, my
tooth cap left my mouth stuck to a
wine gum. I worked myself into a
complete froth over that but
eventually sorted it out. Two days
later my neck started to ache but
even after lots of rubs by my
beloved, no relief. By now I felt as
though my head was hanging to
one side and I had almost
developed a limp. They say your
head weighs twenty kilos, I believe
them. Imagine twenty kilos hanging
off your neck to the one side.
Luckily the bulging tissue fat held
my head on. In desperation I went
to my favorite Chiro. After pushing
and pulling me all around his rooms
he finally jerked my head back into
its original spot. Great relief!!! Had
to make another appointment
though as this one session would
not be enough to keep my head on
straight for long.
Then it was time to pop into dentist
for a very quick touch up and polish

and off I went home.
Two days later I was back at the
Chiro. I again lay down while he
almost dismembered me but at
least my head straightened out.
In the evening I started breathing
like an old steam train, coughing,
snorting, gasping, short of breath,
pain in my solar plexus and all
that. Just then my doctor friend
from Joeys phoned to tell me all
about her mother's near brush with
death. She too had been doing
nearly all the above except she had
thrown up as well and had been in
severe pain all night. My friend
raced her off to hospital, the heart
attack had already occurred, but
they put in a stent and saved her
life. So of course the more I
thought about it, the more I realised
I was in the same boat. So after a
few hours of comparing symptoms
in my mind I made an appointment
for a "third opinion" – after mine and
the other doc's. Today I went to see
the new doc and the diagnosis
made me think my Chiro had
changed my body with someone
else’s because the diagnosis was
so different. So I will not be growing
a fatter neck, nor will I have a heart
attack, and my head, well, we will
have to see about that. I believe
this doctor with all my heart and
soul and walked away with an
armful of natural medicines (I have
always been a chemical believer)
and I have so much faith in her I
believe every word she said. I will
not divulge her diagnosis, just
suffice to say I have always trusted
women more than men.
Lots of love

A Thought
for the Week.

2 Cor.5:21 [BBE]
“For him who had no
knowledge of sin God
made to be sin
for us; so that we might
become the righteousness of God in
him.”
What an amazing verse and
wonderful truth – but do we really
grasp its full meaning?
Most believers are fully convinced,
and rightly so, that because of
Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary’s
cross their sins have been
forgiven and are therefore not
counted against them anymore.
Indeed, this truth remains one of the
basic foundational
doctrines of Scripture, however it is
only half of the truth.
If this were the full truth we would
have only received God’s mercy
and would never yet have taken hold
of God’s amazing grace.
Look at the verse quoted above once
again and this time focus not
only on the first part, but look
specifically at the second portion that
says: “…so that we might become the
righteousness of God
in him.” Did you see it?
God is saying that not only has
He forgiven us by placing our sins
First

upon His Son, but He has given us
the very righteousness of Christ.
This means that a transaction took
place where the Father took our
sin and guilt and placed it on Jesus,
but then at the same time He
took Jesus’ righteousness and gave
it to us.
That, my dear friend is the “full gospel” and it becomes immediately
clear that all of this is God’s work –
nothing of it is either done or in
whatever way earned by us. Now,
that’s grace.
And just to make sure that we
should understand this wonderful
truth shared by the apostle Paul,
Peter comes along and reiterates it
and states: ” He took our sins on
Himself, giving His body to be
nailed on the tree, so that we, being
dead to sin, might have new life in
righteousness, and by His wounds
we have been made
well.” [1Peter2:24]
The question remains – have you
personally accepted God’s free gift
of grace yet or are you still trying to
appease Him with your own efforts
and so-called good works? Why not
call on Him right now?

Snippets
for the
Week
We are just so
fortunate that there are
so many animal lovers
in Plett. I feel so
blessed that our shop is once again
full of the nicest clothing and
bric-a-brac, thank you to everyone
who donated when we were
becoming rather desperate!
Our sales have soared these past
two weeks and we can continue to
spay daily.
Special thanks to Milkwood
Manor who donated bags of
curtains and linen. There is such a
large demand for these items and
we are happy to say that we are
already almost sold out of these
items. Your donation is greatly
appreciated!
It is rather difficult when I find
dogs that I feel are grossly abused,
yet other parties have a different
view. I came across
5 Grey- hounds, all tied up in
various places, one from the roof of
the house, one on a fence, two onto
their make do shelters and one
around the back, also tied to the
roof. The dogs tied to the roof
couldn't even sit down, as their
ropes were too short. After I got
Law Enforcement to intervene,
some are now in a "hok" around the
back of the property. I doubt very
much whether they can even stand
in this enclosure, as the roof is so
low. I must add that these dogs
were all starving and were nothing
more than skeletons with
skin. They also had four
puppies - one was even blind.
I cannot understand why only the
SPCA in George has authority to
remove animals in Plett. These
dogs should be sent to Cape Town
and treated back to a healthy state
and re-homed.
Nevertheless, I will continue to
fight the fight and appreciate
everyone that supports my cause.

Then of course there were the
motorists that totally ignored our
existence. Some of them were too
busy on their cell phones to even
look up. I’m not sure if you know,
but talking and texting on your cell
phone, while driving is against the
law, but I suppose since you
already have a ‘could-not -careless’ attitude, you just don’t
care. Some motorists knew we
were there, but all of a sudden got
very busy with something under
their dashboard. Some just waved
us off. Well, shame to you all.
We did not ask much from you,
nor did we ask you to buy something. We just wanted you to pay
attention, become conscious of a
gruesome and inhumane act that
will happen, if we do not act. I’m
not going to sling mud here, but it
really does tell me a lot about you.
Are you really so busy with your
own life that everything else fades
to gray? Are you so busy making
money that you could not care
less about nature? Well, let me
tell you something, you are part of
nature. You are an animal, Homo
sapiens, whether you want to
acknowledge it or not. So, if you
don’t care about nature, you don’t
care about yourself. Do you really
think you are on this planet to
gather power and material stuff? If
you were, then you would be born
with money in your hands. Instead
we are born naked and we pretty
much leave this planet the same

Our ‘could-not-care-less’ attitude

Just yesterday, the 17th of June,
again highlighted the ‘couldnot- care- less’ attitude of a lot of
people. My husband and I joined
fellow demonstrators to stop the
illegal culling of 85 000 seal pups in
Namibia. Some of us weaved our
way through the traffic, handing out
pamphlets to the motorists. I thank
the motorists that acknowledged our
existence either by winding down
their windows and taking a
pamphlet or blowing their hooters.
It was great to see that some
people do care about what is going
on around them. My hope of course
is that they did read the pamphlet
and will actually stop buying any

Johannesburg - The Nelson
Mandela Foundation has
called on South Africans to
participate in the second
Nelson Mandela Day to be
marked worldwide on the
elderly statesman's 93rd birthday on 18
July.
"The world has taken a position, including
the United Nations, to mark this important
day. But what it also means (this year), we
are beginning to say everyday people must
dedicate time to show love for your fellow
citizens - not just Mandela and make
everyday a Mandela Day," said Human
Settlements Minister and the foundation's
trustee, Tokyo Sexwale.
He was speaking at the media launch of
this year's Mandela Day in Johannesburg.
The United Nations last year declared 18
July every year Mandela International Day
in honour of South Africa's struggle icon and
one of the world's most popular statesmen.
A host of activities are set to take place
around the country, with individuals and
organisations committing more than an hour
of their time doing community work. The
celebrations will be preceded by the launch
of the new Mandela quotations book on
28 June.
The SABC, SAA, the UN and Prime Media
are some of the organisations that have
said they will be embarking on various
initiatives to mark Mandela Day.
"Reconciliation in the world is the most
difficult thing. That is why we have to protect
the legacy of this man whom we all know as
the greatest reconciler of all time. His message still has to find root so let's go out
there and make Madiba proud," Sexwale
said, adding that Madiba remains one of the
most revered and influential persons in the
world.
Achmat Dangor, the foundation's CEO,
said the newly launched Mandela Monday
initiative had also received support thought
the world while the foundation's Board
chairperson, Professor Gerwel, said
Mandela Day provided "a rare" opportunity
for citizens to make Madiba proud.
"We all know what he sacrificed ... Nelson
Mandela Day provides the opportunity for all
of us to continue the work of Madiba and we
call on everyone to take ownership of this
initiative. Let us rise to that challenge and
make every day of our lives a Mandela Day
and change the lives of people around us,"
he said.
The South African National Editors Forum
is also lending its support for the day with
an initiative planned by both print and
electronic media.
SANEF's Raymond Louw said: "Nelson
Mandela, through his hard work, made the
world a better place for journalists... he
made a great contribution to media freedom
and continues to inspire many of us.
"Mandela had opened his office to us for
structured interactions and today we have
meetings with the presidents ... and this is
due to the examples he set and for that, we
honour him as a champion of the media." BuaNews
